It works at small fêtes and big festivals.

These are some of the occasions we cater:

  • Open days
  • Race days and sports events

School fairs, for a school like Granard Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

How to compare caterers

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Ask for allergen information at each stall
  • Give traders a single information pack
  • Feed crew and volunteers at set times
  • Ask about peak-time capacity

Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.

Churros and tapas can join the menu.

Roehampton questions

Is parking a problem for events in Roehampton?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll work around it.

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Roehampton?

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Can you trade at our festival or fair?

Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.

Can you serve drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Is the paella gluten-free?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

What does festival paella catering cost?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

How it works

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For an evening event in Roehampton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why us?

  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request

What festival paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • The number of people
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • How many staff you need
  • Timings and hours

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Roughly how many adults and children

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Where we can cook in Roehampton

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • Your trader pack and site rules
  • Clear information on power, water and waste
  • Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down

Roehampton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

On the menu in Roehampton

  • Churros
  • Chicken & chorizo paella
  • Tapas
  • Vegan paella
  • Seafood paella
  • Giant paella pans
